The Fed govt, like a bully in a bar, is deliberately provoking a fight.

All governments tend toward totalitarianism. The US Constitution was an attempt to shackle the govt to the will of the people, but It has no real remedy. It would be nice if Constitution Abusers and Crossers were immediately fried, but in reality, there is no penalty for them. In their very worst case, they might be stopped from getting what they want.
